BMW i3s sold out in Malaysia

The first batch BMW i3s – numbering 30 units in total - was sold out just two weeks after its launch earlier in April.

The response was certainly a surprise even for BMW Malaysia and supply remains tight but additional shipments of i3s are on their way (priced at RM 272,800, while the all-new 330i (now locally assembled) is priced at RM 288,800).

The fully electric i3s, which is best known for its signature pillar-less side profile, has a range of around 235 – 245 km (WLTP test cycle). When charged with a regular 10A/240V domestic power socket, it takes about 11 hours to reach 80 percent charge but a 16A BMW iWallbox can reduce the time to 7.5 hours.
